The easiest way to get started using #ros2 is in a #docker with #vscode. I made a template to share my setup, check it out! #goros github.com/athackst/vscod…

@ryanmhickman Isn’t Isaac sim built on top of omniverse? I do t understand how Isaac could be good if it’s built on top of bad.
English

@althack It's awful, because the OV leadership team is awful, and the good folks who work on it suffer through because 📈 NVDA chains them there
...I reserve some potential hope for Isaac Sim, which is now under distinctly different leadership 🤷♂️

👼 Every time the head of NVIDIA's advanced robotics research throws Omniverse under the bus, an angel gets its wings 😝

We've found a cozy home for our robots in the world of bits! RoboCasa: a place where robot arms, dogs, and humanoids can train safely for daily tasks in procedurally generated simulations. It's all open-source, check it out in Yuke's thread!

@adrianmacneil @TheRealFergs If this is real I volunteer to recharge the audience with my electrifying puns. I can share my hot takes like hot cakes - served fresh
English

@TheRealFergs Ok let’s do it. We’re putting together a robotics conference in September. Want to host this panel?

@audrow @RoboFoundry @scottmonaghan @TheRealFergs @MikellTaylor @i_bioloid I am greatful you found it useful!

@RoboFoundry @scottmonaghan @TheRealFergs @MikellTaylor @i_bioloid @althack She's great. I didn't realize, but I've used her ROS 2 vscode template 😂

@MicahHoffmann I’ll check it out!
My first question is why do I need to install this c++ unit testing framework with npm? That seems… odd.
English

@althack Pick a new framework?

Results are in! Bard won the best bad joke-off.
What did you think? Is the new bard better than ChatGPT3.5, or should I run another contest?
Allison Thackston@althack
The ultimate way to score chatgpt vs bard: Bad jokes! Finish this joke: why was the watermelon in the pool? A) Because it wanted to get in on the melon-choly! B) Because it wanted to stay cool and make a splash!
English

@NoThanksHoney1 Oh yeah?
Make it funnier!
A) Because it couldn't stand the rind-icule of being on land!
B) Because it wanted to be a "melon-dramatic" floater and add some fruity humor to the pool party!
English

@JohnVial Make it funnier
A) Because it was too seedy for the beach! ️
B) Because it heard it was "seeded" for a great time and wanted to dive into the juicy fun!
English

@althack It Has to be option a, cause option b isn’t even a joke!?! Although option a isn’t that good because it has nothing to do with a pool!
